Synopsis

Spending over a year in Lebanon on the borders of Syria, documentary directors Sophia Scott and Georgia Scott tell the story behind the news reports. The film is a reflection of the strange chaotic lives of the people living in the shadow of the Syrian war, giving an intimate look at how four Syrians, whose collective struggles constitute the new frontline of the refugee crisis, are trying to find ways to overcome the torment of their shattered lives. Interwoven through the film are the contributions of a German professor who works with the local Syrian and Lebanese communities in the north trying to build a new model for peace through interfaith dialogue and access to education for the displaced Syrian children. These are the Syrian people who we see in the news drowning in the Mediterranean.
These five protagonists are the people who will bring forward the global debate on the conflicts at hand from a human, rather than figures-based point of view.

Recent polls indicate politician and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Barghouti could be elected the next Palestinian president, meaning Israel would be holding a country's leader behind bars. Following what was seen by many as an unlawful arrest and imprisonment, Barghouti has spent his time reading, lobbying and continuing the fight for freedom and peace for his country. A unifying, charismatic character, it’s understandable why his popularity is seen as a threat. Through the eyes of his dedicated wife Fadwa and their family, alongside notable activists and leaders, MARWAN - TOMORROW'S FREEDOM captures the spirit of an indefatigable campaigner for justice and the will of a people fighting for their freedom.
